That's why we have prepared for you a list of 20 Spring-Summer 2013 top trends:

1. Monochrome checks – black-and-white checks are a real hit this season, and it's better the motif to be bigger and bolder. Take a look at the Spring-Summer collections of Balmain, Louis Vuitton, Marni, Moschino and Sportmax

2. Bomber jackets - throw one of these over your top and you'll streamline your look to world's fashion trends. For inspiration - see the collections of Balmain, Emilio Pucci, Lanvin and Stella McCartney

5. Oriental – Japanese silhouettes and oriental blossoms – that's it! Choose some of these amazing pieces of Emilio Pucci's, Etro's and Prada's collections or from the Bulgarian fashion house Toane Atelier

6. Tuxedo jackets – white or black – it's your choice. Look for long lapels and strong shoulders, like these in the Spring-Summer 2013 collections of Balmain, Jean Pierre Braganza and Valentino

7. Striped skinny trousers – give yourself a hot look with strong lines this season. Lengthen yours by putting them on skinny trousers, and pairing them with an equally sharp line up top. Look at Michael Kors's and Balmain's offers

12. Stripes – in every which way – skinny or fat, minimal or huge, black-and-white or colored – it's your choice. Balmain, Dolce & Gabbana and Moschino gives you some ideas

13. Hawaii – hibiscus flowers, birds of paradise, hummingbirds and palm leaves. To be fresh and chic, your outfit needs to become a background of a tropical landscape, like these wonderful cloths of Isabel Marant's, Kenzo's and Proenza Schouler's collections

14. Safari – fierce beige and khaki prints for both day and night, the countryside or the urban jungle. Try a safari-style adventure with Dolce & Gabbana, Emporio Armani, Kenzo and MaxMara

15. Kimono – from structured leather lines to dresses that took us straight to the Orient – Etro, Gareth Pugh and Haider Ackermann

16. Metallics – shimmering metallics set the tone for next summer. That's right – look at Burberry Prorsum, Christian Dior and Emporio Armani

17. Pleats – from nude pleats and discreet folds to voluminous, flowing crepe – this is the season of pleats - Chanel, Christian Dior, Emilio Pucci, Etro and Gareth Pugh shows it

18. Dots – the classic Audrey Hepburn's black-and-white polka dot dress of 'Breakfast at Tiffany’s' is back! It evokes a highly feminine delicacy and sophistication, matching minimalistic look with an elegant edge. We like Chanel's and Haider Ackermann's work

20. Fringes – fringe-accenting is making a comeback in delicate, sleek trims that will sway with you long into the night. Models of Gareth Pugh, Jean Paul Gaultier, Nina Ricci, Ralph Lauren and Versace look amazing!
